What a Cent Can and Cannot Do.

It is almost impossible to attach any
importance to one cent, but at the same
time it is very important coin at times,
says an exchange.
It will take circular to California,
and it will make you madder tpan a
hotter and a March hare combined when
you go to pay your fare on horse-car
and find that you have but four cents
and ten-dollar bill.
One cent is very small, but when it IS
added to the rate Of interest You receive
on a stock, it possesses a stern maSnlh-
cent grandeur that carries you away like
strain OF music.
The penny, it seems, was made to Put
on church pintcs, and, although a man
may say it amounts to nothing, he will
strike matches, lit mats and crawl about
in the straw Oh :. horse car to find the
one he drops. It is SO small 4 coin ihat
YOU have to take Off your glove TO take
hold Of it in yollr pocket, and yet 1t IS so
large, when the baby swallows It, the
chances of the bahy's living arc some
times not worth a cent.
Although one cent is less than ten
cents, yet one cent is a great deal larger
than Il dime Many man has gone
thirsty all day with fonr cents in has
oockct. For tie want of that one cent
she four were as useless as the eleven

points tie most competent to succeed to
the command.
The King of Siam never undertakes
any expedition without being accompa-
MED by his female guard, nor does he
ever hunt or even ride without an escort
of the same guard, who aye devotedly
attached to his person. Every member
of the battalion has five negresses attach
ed to her service, and, having thus no
domestic occupation, she can devote her
self exclusively to the duties OF her pro
fession. There is parade ground near
the city, where one company is stationed
two days every week, to exercise them
selves in the use Of the lance; pistol ana
rifle. The King attends once month ct
those exercises, accompanied 10y his
brother, who shares in some degree the
sovereign power, and distributes prizes
to those most deserving. When the death
of one OF the parties ensues, the deceased
receives q magnificent funeral, and the
high priest pronounces panegyrlc, de-
claring that the deceased by her vaior
has merited eternal rest N the abode OF
the blessed. The survivor rece YES the
congratulations of her companions; but,
as measure of discipline, is sentenced
to pass two months away from her COM
pany in fasting and prayer. The military
organization Of this battalion IS so per
feet that the entire army endea7orf to
initiate it.

Goes at a Terrible Speed and Wants to
Leap from q Window.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Sept. 29.-Fireman
Roberts of the Wabash road arrived here
yesterday on his train, and tells thrill
ing story of his experience with a mad
engineer. When the train drew out Of
this place Tuesday, Engineer BotsTorth
appeared to be all right, but before they
had gone far Roberts noticed that his
companion acted queerly. At Harvey
he should have stopped for water, and
the fireman backed the train down to the
proper place, while the engineer acted in
a daZed manner. Once again on the
road Botsworth began TO travel faster
and faster until the train was running
fifty miles an hour. Then Roberts real
lied that Botsworth was deranged, and
just in time grasped the lever al AnoZ-
vile and saved the train going through
an open switch. Faster flew the engine,
Botsworth standing by with vacant
smile, and as they Murdered through
Bacon the maniac gave yell and started
to spring from the cab window. The
watchful fireman caught him by the legs
and while he balanced him on the win
dow ledge he managed with his foot 70
stop the train. The conductor helped to
get Botsworth back to the baggage car,
where he was carefully guarded to o.
tumwa and there turned over to the au-
thoritics 1t is believed to be paralysis
Of the brain that ais him.
